Barakamon

Following Handa Seishuu, a young, promising calligrapher in Japan who is sent to live on a remote island after a violent outburst after a poor competition result gets him into trouble at home. A classic slice of life series on self reflection and questioning values, all the characters in this were quite fun, and it was great to flip on in the evenings after a stressful day. Only 12 episodes, the series leaves room for more but does end sufficiently for me, although I of course do wish there was more. Luckily there is a spin-off prequel series Handa-kun which I'll likely check out at some point. A plot thats never really complex, its instead its the simplicity and honesty within this series that makes it a joy. If you'd like a short, lighthearted anime would recommend.
